Authors Note: In our story, Bradin & Marissa are going into 11th grade, Lindsay in 12th, Nikki & Cameron in 8th, and Derrick, Taylor, and Tyler going into 4th. It's kind of confusing, from how the grades were set up on the show, but we're trying our best to make it not confusing. Enjoy!

Reunited: Chapter 7 – The Accident: Part 1

7:00 a.m.

Today was the day that Bradin, Marissa, Lindsay, Nikki, Cameron, Derrick, Taylor and Tyler were dreading. It was the first day of school. Everyone was in the kitchen eating breakfast. Once everyone was finished, they went on their own to finish up their morning routines. Nikki and Cameron left first, followed by Lindsay, Marissa, and Bradin, and last were Derrick, Taylor, and Tyler.

Bradin & Marissa were sitting together on the bus, in a seat secluded from everybody else.

"So, are you nervous?" Bradin asked.

"A little, but not much, because I know at least two people in the school, and you are in almost all of my classes, so yeah; I'm good." Marissa answered.

A few minutes of silence passed, but Bradin spoke up again. "Are you thinking about participating in any sports or joining any clubs?"

"Bradin, can we not talk about school for a moment?" Marissa snapped back.

Bradin was taken aback, but did what Marissa asked him. After a few minutes of Marissa looking at the floor, Bradin became curious as to why she was so quiet. "Are you okay, babe?" Marissa looked up to Bradin with silent tears rolling down her face.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Bradin asked in a soothing voice, turning to face her. Marissa just shook her head in response.

"You know you can tell me. Is it about school? Are you nervous?"

"No," Marissa replied softly.

"Then what is it? Baby, you're scaring me because you won't tell me what's bothering you." He said, grabbing her hand in support.

"My…my mom. She was always involved with school. She loved it. This is the first year of school without her."

"Aw, Marissa, I'm so sorry. My mom was the exact same way. She loved taking us back to school shopping and to get involved. I know how you feel." The bus had arrived at the school, and Marissa quickly wiped away her tears and stood up, as did Bradin. Once they got off the bus and started walking to the front doors of the school, Marissa grabbed Bradin's hand and gave it a tight squeeze.

The school day was pretty boring to Bradin & Marissa. All they did was fill out sheets with information about themselves, and the teachers went over what the rules and regulations of their class were. During lunch, Bradin and Marissa sat with Lindsay and some of Bradin's friends that he met from surfing. During last period, study hall, Bradin and Marissa were talking about their after school plans.

"Okay, so I have surf team tryouts after school, so I'll just see you at home?" Bradin asked.

"Actually, there's this after school program that I thought I would check out."

"Oh, okay. I'll just meet you by the path, okay?"

"Sounds great." Marissa added as the final bell of the day rang. "See ya later, Brae. Good luck!" Marissa said, leaning to give Bradin a good-luck kiss. "Thanks babe. See ya." Bradin replied as he walked out of the room.

At 4:00, the after school program was over, and Bradin's surf tryouts were over. To no ones surprise, Bradin made the team, and couldn't wait to tell Marissa.

Marissa was walking out of the classroom where the program was held, with a new friend named Dana, when they heard Marissa being paged to the main office in the school.

'Marissa Johnson, please report the main office immediately, I repeat, Marissa Johnson to the main office.'

"Oh, I better go. Here's my number at my house, I'm getting my new cell phone soon, so I'll give you that number soon." Marissa said to Dana.

"Ok, good luck with whatever the paged you for." Dana said with a laugh, which Marissa returned. But little did Marissa know, that she wouldn't be laughing when she heard why she was paged to the office.

Ok, we are so sorry we haven't updated in forever. School started, and homework is coming full-speed, and mid-term finals are soing up. We know it's really short, but we wanted to make this two chapters instead of one. Look for Part 2 coming soon! Please Review! Xoxo
